Join Monroe Speech Designs and your US Smartbox team for an in-depth Grid 3 workshop covering the most comprehensive client-centered AAC and Assistive Technology solution available!
Chris Gibbons, SLP and VP of Education and Assessment at Smartbox Inc, will lead a discussion of Grid 3 for clinical pathways including Neurodegenerative and acquired communication disability, language strategies for early SGD users, and symbol communication. Client examples will be used to introduce grid set development, user profiles, and access solutions.
Learn about specific grid sets including those with core language systems, symbol set development and organization, as well as robust language and access training tools built into Grid 3. All with full alternative access from direct selection to eyegaze for communication, home automation, and computer needs. The Smartbox Grid Pad with Grid 3 pulls it all together as an incredibly powerful, full-functioning, fundable SGD.
Each attendee will receive a copy of the Grid 3 Software as a complimentary demonstration and evaluation tool. So, bring your Window laptop or tablet and communicate with Grid 3 through the day.
